I don’t know if the hardcoded username/password near the top of the pitchfxparser.py file might be causing you problem?

If that’s not it, drop me an email and I’ll see if I can help some more.

After setting up the pitchfx database, I run the python script and get a 1049 error: unknown database 'pitchfx'. When I launch mysql and do "show databases;", pitchfx is there along with all the necessary tables. And if I create a different connection to a different database with the MySQLdb call, it works fine (so the problem is not a bad host name or environmental variable, it seems). Any ideas on what's going on here? Thanks for making these scripts public!
